Boils down to line attenuation and noise

Spot on.

90% of my Net speed problems over the years have been line-related, the local linesman causing most of these when cutting (or stepping on) lines for "testing" and just twisting the new line ends poorly together (often without any insulation tape). Your local linesman will never find an intermitting noise problem, and may actually cause a new one to appear with his "testing".

Try this neat free app to measure and graph line noise (Signal/Noise Ratio, SNR): RouterStats
Look for noise spikes on the line, specially on windy/rainy days.
Also look for specific times of the day (e.g. evening) when SNR drops - this indicates electric power interference, and could be your line has been used as a support anchor for someone's power line.

...just asked the hubby and he said it is not at Than Sadet but at Nam Tok and its for very small planes.

I doubt it. I go to Nam Tok waterfall and beach at least once a week, and although they are cementing some of the road there (and someone has wiped out all the forest on a small hillside), I see no evidence of any airstrip building (or construction trucks) going on around the area.

Work on clearing and leveling the land between Than Sadet and Thong Nai Pan Yai for the new (relatively short) runway is proceeding at a steady pace. I'm almost surprised that this isn't making the news, but I guess since the airport is going to be for a small airline it's not that big a deal.

The new wide highway leading to Thong Nai Pan (as well as the large roundabout at the Than Sadet turnoff and completed dirt road to Bottle Beach) now makes sense.

You should consider starting your own blog, BigC.

Got an invite to a wedding a year back but could not make it out of the island with commitments. Told my friend I would come to his next wedding instead. Posted Image
